Two Homes for Awhile

Posted in apartment, home, move, retire, work2 Comments

It is getting close to possession date for my new apartment, but is still 2 months away from my house being gone.  I am not looking forward to paying the bills for both places for that long, but since it is temporary, I will survive.  🙂 I have sold a few items that I will… Continue reading Two Homes for Awhile

I have been busy making plans and acting on them as required in the last few weeks.

Eventually, I usually get around to getting things done.  🙂 A few weeks ago I was thinking about getting the plastic up on 2 of my windows upstairs that have quite a draft.  The cold weather would be coming soon and they would need to be covered.

This started innocently enough on Saturday.  I had a shift to work at a location fairly close… Continue reading I Went for a Walk

Progress

I’ve got a little bit of progress here and a little bit of progress there. First – the job situation:  It looks like I will have 3 shifts at the Y each week.  The shifts are 4 hours each – so 12 hours per week.  I also have 3 shifts at Comforts of Home each… Continue reading Progress

I Failed

After years of convincing people that I am perfect, it is hard to admit that I made a mistake and that I failed at something.  If you remember, I retired in the spring this year.  That is what I failed.  One of the employees at the Y suggested that I should be looking to see… Continue reading I Failed
